One of my friends in Kolkata recently joined this company that floods YouTube with ads about “AI productivity” and “ChatGPT mastery.” The founders are two IIT alumni, which initially made it look legit. Before joining as a Manager, he checked their site — they had around 10 different “brands” under one roof, all selling generic AI and productivity courses.
Last week during his onboarding, the founders showed a video claiming the company is on track for ₹1000 crore in revenue and has ₹200 crore liquid. But here’s the weird part — there’s just one small office, no security guard, and the setup feels more like a coaching center than a high-revenue firm. My friend said even the “training sessions” felt superficial, mostly motivational fluff with no actual strategy or clients.
Now he’s wondering if he should quit before things go south. He’s concerned it could be a scam or a pyramid-style setup. Honestly, it sounds shady AF.
TL;DR: Friend joined a flashy AI training startup in Kolkata (founded by IIT grads). They claim massive revenue with a tiny office and generic courses. Feels super sketchy — should he leave before it gets worse?
